I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

    in general the game design philosophy of just giving the player as many play hours as possible so they don't feel like an idiot for paying $60 for a video game is offputting to me. like i'll definitely fall into that play pattern with some games (usually with some kind of competitive multiplayer), but a big open world where i have to go fetch 10 rat pelts over and over just to check off a quest list is super unappealing. The only recent exception was Breathe of the Wild because it was pleasant to just exist and explore in that game and not worry about completing objectives.
